As an educator of sorts, mostly one-to-one sessions, I spend an hour a day with the kind of people salesmen would sell their right arm to get to. Yet, I myself am pretty poor because my rates don't change from person to person. So therefore I'm in the unique position of going from one hour with a simple housewife, to the next hour walking into a 12 million dollar block of offices, being escorted up to the penthouse suite, and doing the same with a multi-millionaire. Due to these circumstances I get a pretty good insider view of the wealthiest of the wealthiests lifestyles, learning secrets along the way that would cause scandals. I can't reveal TOO much about the specifics, but if you have any questions about the gig, go ahead.

It's not 'the method to get rich' but rather the 'character traits' that they all share.

Three of the people are successful business owners and one is one of the richest people in Western Japan, so I have to be a careful about specifying their actual work or this could get me into trouble, especially since he's still a client. The others are doctors, again- can't specify the field.

First of all, everyone of them, without a shadow a doubt 'earned' their wealth.

They fall into a few camps. The risk takers, the resourceful miners, and the diligent students. All have one trait that beats the rest. Tenacity. Or more precisely, single-mindedness.

Determination is the key. Not intelligence. I have seen some very intelligent clients, but they tend to flounder in the same way as the people with average smarts. I've also noticed that intelligence counteracts risk-taking, and this is a negative.

The most successful of th doctors is perhaps the least smart in comparison to the others. It's almost comical at times, his lack of worldly knowledge and such, but he sure puts in effort. Every time he has to give a symposium, he will spends DAYS and DAYS perfecting his speech, requesting me time and time again round to his house for rehearsing. Money is nothing but paper for him, and compared to the others in his field he is doing better, he owns a huge clinic, making millions of dollars a year. Everything he has, he owes to not his genius, but rather his ability to sit down on a chair and study like his life depended on it.

Another one is a merchant of sorts. He's also not smart at all, but man did he ever have an eye for opportunities. He's the king of the resources. The king of passive rich. He was always looking for a way to add to his income streams, and he was never scared to try anything, even when it ended in a loss. 'It's a number game' he told me. 9 times out of 10, you lose money, but if you minimize the risk you end up profiting with the one that does well. He was doing all sorts, selling all kinds of imported handbags, dealing in gold, reselling iphones, loads of stuff. He often reminded me that most people give up just as they're about to succeed.

The richest of them all is a machine, well he's the terminator- and I know that's a cliche- but it's true. It's almost moot to talk about him, because I don't think anyone can copy his style, it's almost inhuman. He is the kind of guy that never breaks an appointment. I like to thik that I am person of dedication and tenacity myself, but jesus, he's like the Olmpic gold medal in Never-Give-Up. He's fearless in his risk-taking. He decided he would enter the best Japan university in the country, and didn't even bother applying for precautionary entrance exams anywhere else. It's a mentality that most people don't have. You know, people will feel lazy one day, cancel my appointment with some bs 'I'm sick' or 'I have an urgent appointment' when really all they want is to go out and get hammered or laid--not this guy. He thinks long-term, everything he does is part of plan, some big picture he has. I guess the only reason I'm mentioning him is because what I did notice is the immense effect that this has on the people around them. It's cumulative- people are drawn to him like a magnet. All of his management follow in his footstep, they're all healthy because they train regularly, they all study new things, and I don't think that's their natural character at all- it's all down to his influence. I think that his strong-will is like a magnet, and I've no doubt that it's one of the cores of his success. The lesson here is try your best at something- ANYTHING- and you will have influence and your chance of doing better in life will succeed. People will trust you more, they will be inclined to help you more than others.

CONCLUSION So in order to get rich, you either have to be resourceful or very devoted to studying, and also be risk-taker.

I have a habit of making plans and being quite energetic and excited about the things. A few days, the temp remains, but on say the fifth or sixth day, some negativity creeps in. I still have not figured why? May be it is my past experiences or some inbuilt trait.What do you suggest me to do? How to maintain the tempo?

@ptrikha yes this is exactly what most people do. They go all gung-ho in the beginning, then they get cold feet a few days later and bail. You have to be resilient and strongarm yourself throught that phase through willpower. What myself and my rich colleagues have agreed on is that definigng

My rich 'brother' told me, he said that most people quit just when they're about to succeed. They don't have the perserverance to make it across the tightrope walk when the pessimism creeps in. One mistake you're making is that you're examining the end goal too much. A good soldier looks at his feet when he's marching, not the horizon. I strongely recommend scheduling appropriately, set aside a proper time to do things, and do not break that routine.

Thanks for your advice. I would try to follow the tips.
